Do you ever wish you could capture a feeling, put it in a tiny box and revisit time and time again?  I remember waking up before the sun came up when I was seven years old.  I put my clothes on, brushed my hair but it all felt different; more alive.  We were embarking on a flight to the exotic land of Orlando’s Disney World! 

​

I didn’t come from a family who journeyed on African safaris or European Spring Breaks; it was more amusement parks and outlet malls.  It didn’t matter, I was beside myself with excitement wherever we went.  That feeling of peaking anticipation has stayed with me and returns with every trip I take and luckily the destinations have gotten a lot more interesting.

​

I share that same enthusiasm when a client embarks on their journey.  The morning of a client’s private cooking class, I am elated awaiting to hear what they made.  I’m up early awaiting the bright, beautiful photos of my client’s iceberg trek.  I can’t wait for the video of the deep dive in Belize or the bungee jumping in New Zealand.  I love to feel their excitement from across the pond when they are met with sparkling wine and welcome note in their hotel room after a long day of connecting flights. 

Just as my travels and experiences can inspire and energize others, my client’s experiences give me the same unadulterated joy I felt grabbing my suitcase for Disney at seven years old.  I love being the connection to a person’s journey that gives them that unique feeling of pure joy that is so hard to recreate…until the next trip!
